turned lately from the same voyage, and the Preciass, which has sailed from these seas, will be back this year. —( Frankfort Papers, April 17.) .(The Milan Gazette, of 9th April, and the Piedmontese Ga zette of the 13th, have no intelligence from Greece. The Allege meine Zeitung has only the article from Constantinople of the 29th March, received by express by way of Bucharest, quoted in the Etoile of Saturday.) The Gazette of Amsterdam, after mentioning the arrival of the Greek fleet at Missolonghi, says it has brought provisions with two thousand disciplined men, under the orders of Colonel FABRIER. • - The Minerva has just arrived, bringing the Official 'dispatches from Calcutta, confirmatory of all the pre vious accounts of the defeat of the Burmese: She left Calcutta on the Gth January. On Wednesday evening, a good deal of discussion took place in the House of Commons on Mr. LITTLE-. TON'S motion, respecting Private Bill Committees. We highly approve the object and motives of the Hon. Gentleman, but without giving any opinion as to whe ther the proposed alterations would be improvements or not, we much fear there is a radical error in the supposition, that men, ordinarily speaking, will devote any considerable portion of their time and talents to th e private concerns of others, without receiving com pensation in some shape. We may here remark that there is no real exception in the case of Members of Parliament. They are expected and supposed to discharge their public duties without salary, but in that respect the acknowledged dignity oeihe station is 'sufficient recompence. This distinction, however, onc e gained, there is seldom much additional glory to be acquired by attending Committees on Private Bills up stairs, and drudging from day to day in the details of roads and railways, canals and collieries—and we can not but suspect that these Committees never will be what they should be, until some means are devised for procuring disinterested attendance. It was admitted on all hands during the debate, that great abuses take place in these Committees, and in deed the whole history of this department of our Le gislation, points out the want of some effective con troul in the case of measures brought into Parliament, With a view to the interests of private individuals. Does any one suppose that such a vast number of use less, and worse than useless Bills, could have been hurried through Parliament, had a specific and limited number of individuals been, held responsible, that strong remonstrance at least should be made in all cases, where the object appeared frivolous or wicked ? And what is gained by spreading. this re sponsibility over all the Members of the House, ex cept the salary of a few Commissioners, who might, perhaps, be paid by fees from parties interested in the measures ? It is not for us to say what number of these Commissioners might be necessary, or what amount of salary wouldinduee efficient persons to devote their mornings to this occupation during the sitting of Parliament ;—but we cannot help thinking that it would be very satisfactory to the House to have an assurance from able disinterested men in the case of every Private • Bill, that they had examined strictly into its merits, and that it was not what is vulgarly termed—a job. As •our ideas are not very likely to be adopted, we shall not dwell longer on this subject at present, but We should feel great satisfaction, if our humble sug gestions were to lead more competent persons to follow up our view of the question, which is simply, that inte rested persons are bad judges in any case, .that disin terested persons will not attend to the private business of others without remuneration—and that consequently, these Private Bills will continue liable to the existing abuses until salaries are paid,to competent and disin terested persons, who shall be held responsible that no objectionable provisions shall creep into any such bills. It is expected that the Duke of Wellington will arrive in town on Thursday next. The Hon. Mr. Eligh, who arrived on Friday, left his Lordship well at Riga. THE FUNDS. It taking a general review of the transactions on the Stock exchange during last week,, we have no very im portant operation s to notice, nor any violent fluctua..- tions to report. The last price, on Saturday afternoon, was exactly the same as the first price on the preceding Monday, namely 79k1.—The loWest price durin g the *reek was on Tuesday, when Consols declined to 78i, `arriT the highest on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning,; when they reached 79i. On the afternoon of the lapte t r day, in consequence of unpleasant reports respecting. the intentions of the Russian Government to commence hostilities with the Porte, the price de clined to .79k, and, although oh Saturday morning Consols opened at the same price, they soon declined to 79, and left off buyers at 79k. Some large sales were made during the forenoon, by parties connected with the west end of the town, which gave some de gree. of countenance to the reports respecting Russia, and.. the general aspect of the market was gloomy. Roney. Stock, which, in the early part of the week had been very 'scarce, on Friday and Saturday became abundant, notvs'ithstanding which, money in the Stock txetiah ge: was also plentiful. In the commercial HY94d, however, money still continued scarce, and Bills were discounted with difficulty. The New Four per Cent. Scrip had varied in price from I discount to 1/. premium, but it was also affected on Friday and Satur day, and left off at j, premium. Fluctuations of considerable extent have taken place during the week in all descriptions of Foreign Securi ties, particularly in those of the South American States. On Saturday, however, a reaction took place, and an improvement took place in the value of all South Ame rican Securities. Peruvian Bonds, which had been sold as low as 27 in the week reached 33, and Colom bian Bonds, which had been 39, reached 43. Mexi can Bonds also improved, and left off about 64. 'The prices of Shares, of all descriptions, remained nearly nominal. CITY, Tu•tive o' Clock, Consols opened this morning at 79 to for the Account, with little doing, alternatively there have been buyers and sellers at the above price, with a heavy Market. We have a great number of arrivals this morning from all quarters, as well as several from India, but not of so late a date as the last arrival from Calcutta. The Royal George, a Chinaman, has been • burnt, with a homeward cargo on board: This day is a holyday at the Bank, but the Stock Exchange is open.—ln the Foreign Market little doing. Up to the present hour very little speculation is going forward. One o' Clock. Since twelve o'clock Consols have been fluctuating from. 79 to 79if- for the Account, with very little business doing, and Consols may be quoted up to the present time at 79f buyers. Two o' Clock. Consols has rather improved within this half hour, and are done at 79, for the Account, but no busi ness is doing to any extent.

This morning his Majesty's suite and Household attended divine service at the chapel attached to the Royal Lodge, which was performed by the Reverend Dr. Sumner, the Bishop of Landaff elect. This afternoon, soon after four o'clock, his Majesty and suite arrived in two phaetons drawn by ponies at the Castle from the Royal Lodge, after attending divine service at the private chapel, the King proceeding by the retired rides in the Park as usual. His Majesty viewed those parts of the improvements and alterations in the Castle where he is not able to proceed in the course of theweek, when the workmen are all busily employed in their different. trades. A number a spectators from Windsor, as well as visitors, were attracted to see his Majesty, who is looking very well. The comelete restoration of his Majesty's health affords the highest satisfaction to every class of his sub jects ; the constant excursions which the King takes in the delightful rides in the Great Park have much con tributed to this desirable event. The, interest which the King feels in the magnificent alteration s o f th e Royal Castle, and the picturesque improvements in the neighbourhood of the Royal Lodge, leads the King frequently t o i nspect t h e wor k s at those places and also at Virginia Water, where preparations are making for an elegant fishing-house, which has been for some tune past building by Mr..Tebbott, the King's car penter, in the late Queen Charlotte's Mc s, which has in consequence been closed. It is in a great state of forwardness, and is to be completed by the com mencement of, th e fi s hi ng season , when it is expected the King will resume the amusement of angling. Count Woronzow arrived at •the Castle about three o'clock from the Royal Lodge. Yesterday Prince Esterhazy transacted business at the Foreign-office. This afternoon the Band of Life Guards, who are quartered here, played on the Terrace, where the com pany were very numerous. ST. GEORGE'S DAY.--The 23d April, the day fixed for the celebration of his Majesty's birth, having fallen on Sunday, this day has been observed as his Majesty's Birth-day, in the usual manner, by the firing of the Park and '1 ower guns, and other demonstra tions of joy. It is said that the King is expected to come to town some day this week, if his Majesty's health will per mit, when there is a probability that the Recorder will make his report of the prisoners capitally convicted at the February Old Bailey Sessions. His Grace the Duke of Wellington arrived at Ber lin on Friday the 14th instant. lie was expected at Brussels on Friday last. His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange is expected every day. A British Cabinet Messenger passed through Brus sels on , Thursday at noon, on his way from St. Peters burgh to London with dispatches. Lord Melville left town on Saturday, but will re turn this afternoon. With reference to the'allusion we made on Friday to the case of a gallant young officer at Portsmouth, we are happy to be able to state, that he has obtained a writ of Habeas Corpus for removal to the King's Bench. _ _ We rather apprehend that the reports in the Morn ing Papers of his Majesty's intention to come to town to-morrow are incorrect. LIBERAL DONATION OF HIS MAJESTY. [Front the Macclesfield Herald, Saturday, April 20.] We are happy to announce that our gracious and beloved Sovereign, actuated by the benevolence which so strongly marks his character, has given one thou sand pounds for the relief of the distressed poor in this town. It is with the most heartfelt pleasure that we lay before our readers the following letter upon the subject from Mr. Secretary PEEL to our worthy Mayor :••••.. WHITEHALL, Aran. 20, 1826.—S1R—Having felt it my duty to lay before the King your letter of the 7th inst., I am command ed by his Majesty to express the deep regret with which he has learnt the sufferings and privations of the unemployed poor in the neighbourhood of Macclesfield. Out of the very limited funds at the disposal of his Majesty, he has been pleased to signify, that 1,0001. be added to his name to the subscriptions which have been already entered into at Macclesfield for the relief of the distressed. —You are therefore requested to make known his Majesty's gra cious intentions, and if you will notify to me the name of a London Banker, into whose hands the sum above-mentioned may be paid, it shall be paid without delay. I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, Thos. Broadricke, Esq., ROBT. PEEL. Mayor of Macclesfield. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE; FASHIONABLE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE WEEK.

The King has been pleased to give aml grant unto Robert Sharpe; a Lieutenant is the Royal Navy, and late Lieutenant of his Majesty's ship Windsor Castle; 'his Royal licence and permis sion, that he may, in compliance with the earnest desire expressed by his Most Faithful Majesty John the. Sixth, King of Portugal, accept and wear the insignia of a Knigbt of the Royal Portuguese Military Orde; of the Tower and Sword, which that Sovereign was pleased to confer upon him, on occasion of his Most Faithful Majesty's visit on board` the said bi 'the TaguS, in the month cf May 182 S. ' . , This morning the Foot Guards marched from their barracks to th© e.avafry barracks; where both regiments, heard Divine .Service performed the riding school, by the Chaplains in residence'. This being the day appointed for the celebration of. his Majesty's birth-day, the, shine was observed by the mbrning being Ughe re d in with the ringing of bells, the firing of guns, Sze. in Bachelors' Acre. To-mor ro*.there is to be a grand dinner in the Town Hall, in honour of the day, and in the 'evening there will be a general illumination. Considerable alterations are taking place on the Ascot Heath Race Course, in preparation for the en suing races, when it is expected his Majesty will at tend? The Duke of York's stand is to be removed from its present position from opposite that of his Ma jesty's, and to be placed by the side of the King's.— The races commence on the 6th June, when great sport is expected. The mud and stagnant water which has been al lowed to accumulate at the north-eastern extremity of the Canal in Kensington-gardens, are not only a great disfigurement of the place itself, but calculated to generate a very noxious air in the neighbourhood. We think it right to contradict a report, and we do it from undoubted authority, that has been circulated with regard to a supposed misunderstanding having existed between Madame Pasta and Mr. Lbers, re specting that lady's remuneration fcir her services at the Opera this season. The fact is, that the stipulated sum was agreed upon at the very second interview at Paris, in September last; the only difference existing being as to the mode of payment ; we think it likewise right to do away several hints thrown out as to the amount of that celebrated singer's salary, it having been, no doubt mischievously, considerably magnified, and not reaching by more than one-half the sum valid) had been erroneously stated, and being by no means beyond what that lady's distinguished talents entitle her to expect. On Saturday morning, at half-past ten o'clock, the Lords of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council assembled at the Council-office, Whitehall-1 place, to hear appeals, &c. The Lords present were, the Lords President, -Lord Bexley, Lord Stowell, Lord Colchester ' Sir John Nicholl, the Judge of th e Arches Court, the Master of the Rolls. Lord Be resford, the Governor of the island of Jersey, attend ed in consequence of the first appeal to be heard be fore their Lordships, being from that island ; the noble Viscount, being a Privy Councillor, took his seat at the Board. The appeal to their Lordships was one in which all the inhabitants of that island are interested; arising out of the right of property in sea-weed, which is In great abundance there, and is rendered valuable from its being essential to manure the land, either in its raw state, or the ashes produced from it after it is burnt. Mr. Abercromby and Mr. Brougham were engaged in the case. About one o'clock the Counsel and strangers were ordered to withdraw. Their Lord ships remained in close deliberation upon the appeal for about two hours. * Soon after the parties interested in the decision were informed by Mr. Buller, the Clerk of Council in waiting,, that they need not wait any longer, as their Lordships would not decide upon the question at present. GENERAL ELECTION. Admiral Markham, who has represented the Bo rough twenty-five years in Parliament has signified his intention to retire from its duties at the dissolution of the present session. Francis Baring, Esq. (eldest son of Sir T. Baring, Bart.) arrived this morning to solicit the suffrages of the electors, to succeed him in the representation. George Purefoy Jervoise, Esq. M. P. for the County, also retires from Parliament at the dissolution.--( Hampshire Telegraph.) On Monday last, a meeting of the Freemen of Chippenham, in the interest of Mr. F. Gye, was held in that borough, at which his vent announced the determination of Mr. G. in the event of an election, to proceed to the poll; and that every exertion should be made by him to revive and promote the manufac turing interests of the place, by - giving and procuring extensive orders for cloth, as being a more effectual means of rendering the town permanent and general service, than treating and entertaining a few indivi duals : a determination, which, in the present de pressed state of the trade, was heard with the liveliest satisfaction. —(Bath Herald.) Mr. James Morrison has withdrawn himself as a candidate for the Parliamentary representation of Dover. Mr. Henry Scott, jun. of Hard e n, will offer himself as a candidate f or Roxburghshi re , as soon as the funeral of the late lamented Representative is over. Great preparations are making in Chichester by all parties, in the expectation that the election will take place in June, in which case the County Court will be held itt that city. At the Meeting of Sir G. Web ster's Pink and Puflsle Club, on Monday evening, a resolution was passed , that it would be desirable to give plumpers to Sir Godfrey, in order to insure his return, and 150 signed to do so.—(Sussex Paper.) Bethell Walrond, Esq. of Montrath, in the county of Devon, has received a requisition from the borough of Sudbury to offer himself - as a candidate at the en suing dissolution of Parliament, and has by hand-bill expressed his confident hopes of attaining the high honour of representing them.—( Ipswich Journal.) We understand that H. B. Peters, Esq. of Hotham Hall, near South Cave, has declined offering himself as a candidate at the ensuing election for Beverley.— ( Doncaster Gazette.) ROMFOItD BANK. COURT OF COMMISSIONERS OF BANKRUPTS. On Saturday the Creditors of Messrs. Joyner and Co. of the Bamford Bank, met for the purpose of proving debts, before the Commissioners of Bankrupt. Mr. MONTAGU appeared as Counsel for the Creditors. Mr. Rose was for the Bankrupt. _ _ Mr. JOYNER, senior, the father of one of the partners in the establishment, was examined. He appeared to be deeply affected, and sobbed aloud during the examination. It appeared that this gentleman had left the concern some years ago, but not having withdrawn his name, he had been made of course responsible for the engagements as one of the firm. He stated that he had delivered up all the title deeds of property to which he . had claim, and every thing he was possessed of on earth, except about 1001. and hi • watch, which he had in his pocket, and which he was now prepared to deliver up, if the creditors de sired he should do so. He was asked whether the firm had em barked in speculations which turned' out injuriously. He replied that he never knew any thing about their having engaged in ape culations. He had never heard such a thing intimated until that morning, when he.was told it was whispered that something of the kind had taken A CRE»ITOK rose to propose that the 1001. and the watch, which Mr. Joyner was prepared to deliver up, should be presented to him ip testimony of the sense the creditors had of his honourable It teas greatly to he regretted that such a calamity had befallen a gentleman: in the decline of who had attained a fine ‘ property by industrious and creditable exertions ; and it would be grateful to a man, who had nothing to accuse himself of, that a due • estimate bad been formed of his worth, by those with whom I. Caine in such painful contact. He then made, the proposition, and expressed his conviction that there would not be a dissentient voice upon the occasion. • _ A CooreravatAx, whose claim amounted to no more than IL, said be did not understand what Was meant by giving the bank rupt 1001. and watch. lie wished to have the matter explained. Mr. MONTAGU said, with much emphasis, that he would explan it. The old gentleman, to whom benevolent allusion had been made, had lost all he was worth in the world. He had been re duced to indigence from a state of high independence; and it had been humanely proposed to present him with the 1001. and his watch. If a proceeding of this nature was unprecedented, he would take care that the interests of his clients should not be in terfered with ; but it was in constant practice with creditors who were satisfied of the integrity of those who were unfortunate. The surviving partners in the house of Marsh, Stracey, and Fauntleroy, were presented with 6001. or '7OOl. each, and it would be very ex traordinary if, upon the present occasion, the usual practice were departed from. Mr. Joyner here burst into tears. Mr. Rose also spoke in terms of strong approbation of the pro posal, which was then unanimously agreed to. The meeting adjourned to Saturday week. The amount of the • property given up by Mr. Joyner is 3,000/. KING'S THEATRE. The attraction of Madame PASTA'S re-appearance' on Saturday drew as crowded and brilliant an audience to this Theatre as any with which it has yet been graced during the present season, and her reception was as enthusiastic as her peculiar merits demanded. To a figure and countenance rather improved by some what more of fulness, or roundness, than she formerly exhibited, she, in our judgment, adds a higher style of execution and a more refined expression, than she heretofore could boast. This Lady s tones, we think, are in themselves much the same ; but certainly her manner of. delivering them, and the sensibility she, no less evinces in her acting than in the intonation of her passages, whetherin recitation or air, are of irresistible effect. The Opera was Rossim's Otello ; and, chiefly owing to Madame PASTA'S extraordinary powers, not feebly seconded by those of Cuniosr, it extorted the most rapturous applause. After the close of the piece, they came forward together, and received fresh demonstrations of the delight they had universally excited. As a matter of course, the Opera was followed by D'EoviLLE's and BOCIISA's new Ballet, and as a matter of course, its business, its dancing, and its music, again charmed the admirers of Ballet representetion. " Another fine sun sheeny day, Colonel," said a young Scots Cadet to his Commanding Officer the se cond day after his arrival at Madras, rubbing his hands with great glee at the unclouded serenity of the heavens. " I am afraid, before many days," said the old half baked Colonel, " you will not enjoy this weather so much ;" and such, we fear, was the case. . - On Saturday the Exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water Colours was visited by a large party of distinguished Amateurs and Patrons of the, Fine Arts, previous to opening to the public. INQUEST.—An Inquest was h e ld on S aturday morning on the body of Mr. Acheson, who Was killed by a fall f r rom l i tlr iB te h rhavin i g broken. eiiniehn A ind Park,ft4 occasioned by one o f t h e stir upecbearing th e ev id ence the Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death." This unfortunate Gentleman had come up from Scotland for the purpose of making arrangements for the nuptials of his claughtee, which were to be solemnized in a few days. Mrs. A. is, we understand, on her road from Edinburgh, little conscious of the melancholy and awful event which has taken place, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING METING.

A great many were Out, and seemed in good order, with the exception of a few, of which number ,waa " h onest master Sligo, " wl:o, through a sprain in taking his gallop, two or three days ago, will not be able to start tomorrow, in the sweepstakes of 101) soy. each ; consequently hard Anson pays thrfett, as will ()t -ilers!
